A single acre of grassland can
contain 2½ million spiders.
Spiders
exhibit incredible diversity.
Tarantulas:
Tarantulas moult.(shed
the hair, skin, horns, etc.) annually.
How does the male tarantula
know to push up the female's legs to expose her reproductive organs? God
surely programmed this into them; as well as what to do once they are exposed.
Bird eating spiders live
up to 25 years, weigh up to 122 grams and have a leg span of 25 centimeters.(1
centimeter is about the width of your finger).
Jumping spiders.(about
10% of the 40,000 species of spiders).have
360 degree vision thanks to 4 pairs of eyes, with independent movement
of each eye. There are vast differences seen when one looks at the many
types of spiders, yet they all subsist
very well.
Spiders, lobsters, crabs,
scorpions with their venomous
stinging tails,
millipedes,
insects, etc. are all arthropods.
If the Araneomorphae species
of spider was surviving very well with its set of two book lungs.(a
stack of thin sheets called lamellae that resemble the pages of a book,
resulting in gas exchange between air and blood),
why was there need.(evolutionary
speaking).for
further development to four book lungs, with increased complexity, as evidenced
in Mygalmorph spiders? If the Araneomorphae was quite fit to survive and
was indeed surviving and does today, why the increased complexity, apart
from God just showing us that He can darn well do things in a myriad
of ways and make it all work just fine.
The two book lungs do the
same as the four. This is
confounding
to evolutionists, many of whom avoid confronting the truth of their
own body's marvelous design:.Romans
1:19-23.
Few spiders have poisonous
venom and that's good because
we each eat 12 spiders during our lifetime when we're asleep. Yech!.
Ever awaken in the night
without coughing, yet feeling you have just gulped 'something' down? Ever
wake up with what feels like some hairs in your mouth? Wherever you are
on Earth, there's a spider within 3 feet of you. Now you know why this
one's called a Laughing Spider, with you not knowing you're ingesting
some of his brothers and sisters, perhaps ones he didn't quite get along
with so well.
Spiders digest food outside
the body by injecting nitrogen containing enzymes.
Spiders spin silk! This is
one of the characteristics that sets them apart from other creatures. Spiders
sail through air on a thread of gossamer.
½ of the 40,000 species
use silk, but do not spin webs. Spiders have 8 legs, as compared to an
insect's 6.
Tropical spider webs:
Tropical spider webs are strong enough to catch mice and birds. Spider's
web strands are used in the better transit's.(surveying
equipment).transoms.(cross
hairs).and
in rifle scopes, as they can perform better than anything man made. They
can be stretched 30% and hold their position without becoming limp. They
are actually stronger than steel or the bullet proof material kevlar; similar
in strength to the human
body's collagen.
A spider forms a definite
pattern, an
Archimedes
spiral as evidenced in many of their webs.
First a spider creates the
framework, to which begins the superstructure
by the spider first adding spokes.(like
a bicycle's wheel). He then begins
filling up the open areas between the spokes as he travels around the centre
of the framework in one continuous line.(much
like you would do if you were decorating your bicycle wheels with colored
streamer paper).with
the silk coming out of him having just the right specifications. How he
knows to do this is programmed into him by Creator-God, the ever so astoundingly
brilliant, yet intimately personal, Creator of all things.
Spiders don't get caught
in their own web because they possess such an amazing 'tracking' system,
giving them the ability to keep on the strands of the web using their eight
legs.
Spiders have to be diligent.
Each day they have to repair or totally rebuild their webs from damage
from all sorts of things that occur in the forest or in the home, like
vacuuming.
Spider webs
also
exhibit symmetry
with diversity:
You have seen the traditional design, but in addition, other webs look
like triangles.(Hyptiotes
spider), like a ladder.(Scoloderus
spider), like a funnel.(Agelena
spider, called Funnelweb spider), single
string webs look like fishing lines.(Dinopis
and Magrammopes spiders), like a hand
held fan.(Theridiosoma
spider).and
many more different styles of webs by many other different spiders including
the Black Widow's web. Their spatial
structures all exhibit mathematical
design. Form is about spatial structure.
They measure like a tailor!
How do spiders know to and know how to measure the spacing between the
strands of their webs to get it just right. How do they know how to get
the web's tension just right? Why do certain spiders always build the same
type of web? Why do they only build so many braces within the hub on those
kinds of nets? How and why do they plan the particular style of web that
they do?
After mating some spiders
eat their partners; different from
human behavior.
The spider population of
Britain alone, devours about enough insects annually to equal the total
weight of Britain's human population.
Black widow spider.(Latrodectus):.Black
Widow spider's web strands are stronger than steel in some aspects. The
spider's strands, used in surveying instruments, are one thousandth of
a millimeter thick, about one thousandth the width of a human hair. These
strands are superior to man made synthetic
strands as they will stretch about 30% before breaking. The Black Widow
spider's strands are ten times the strength of the material kevlar used
in bullet proof jackets. Its web is is thinner at the top, becoming wider
as the bottom is reached.
